Apache Tomcat

Hello everyone!

Quick question, I have Netbeans 6.0 installed on my computer. However, I need to do some of this stuff "the old fashioned" way so that I can learn this. Since I already have the IDE, do I need to install Apache Tomcat?

Thanks!

The choice is whether to install it again is entirely up to you

With the bundled Tomcat, you still can use Tomcat in the old-fashioned way. Create a web project, but don't click deploy/undeploy. Create a WAR file and then deploy it in the Tomcat webapps directory.

In Linux, it's in $HOME/.netbeans/6.0/apache-tomcat-6.0.14_base.
In Windows, it's in the C:\Document and Settings\{username}\.netbeans\6.0\apache-tomcat-6.0.14_base.

Hope this helps.

Freddy,

Thanks for your response. I'll most likely install it again.
